Farewell.

The National Rifles Bid Their Arm,
Farewell.
Tho National Rifles met at their armory
last night and drilled the last time with
their old guns. Secretary Endicott wrote
Captain Oyster of the Rifles and Captain
Edgar OF the Old Guard yesterday notify.
Ing them that he had no authority to allow
them 10 retain their arms. After the drill
the guns were placed In one large stack,
each man kissing his gun. 1t was concluded
to buy new guns, but whether out OF the
treasury or by assessment was not deter
mined. Some OF the members are In favor
OF going into the militia, Some OF those
opposed to this base their opposition on the
ground that General Ordway had no legal
right TO organize the militia without the
consent OF Congress. The Union Veteran
Corps, Old Guard, are making arrange
ments to purchase rifles.
